Concerning Sheep and Wool.


Jacob Ide of Passumpsic writes that
he has sometimes expressed the opin-
ion that Vermont farmers might just
as we'll raise sheep that would shear
10 pounds of wool per head as five, and
that for some time he has been trying
to prove it. Last year his flock aver
aged to shear 10 pounds less only one
ounce. This year his flock of 40 sheep
sheared 10 pounds 2 ounces per head
and all the old sheep raised winter
lambs. Of this flock of 40, IL were
yearlings which averaged to shear | l
pounds per head, and more than half
of them raised lambs. Three sheep
sheared 4O4 pounds of wool and raised
five winter lambs. Mr.. lde has proved
his theory that Vermont farmers may
and ought to raise sheep that will
shear 10 pounds of wool per head.
Those who are looking for sheep may
be glad to know that some of the above
stock is for sale.

that he was going to Concord. That
night an attempt was made to rob the
house, but nobody knows who the man
was and there is not much probability
that it was Dian.

A New Issue.
The scribe expects and is willing to
eat the prescribed peck of dirt but OBJ
jects to having it crowded down his
parched throat inside of seven days as
was attempted this week. Assuming
that whoever were to blame for the
non-appearance of the street sprinkler
were also at fault last summer in not
providing sufficient quantity of dry
sand to supply the sanding machine
during the slippery season, it is pro-
posed that new issue be instituted in
village politics to be known as the
street. sprinkler-and-sanding- machine
issue. Let us call this the anti dust
and pro- sand party and let no candi
date for the position of trustee receivs
the votes of his fellow citizens unit
pledged to the production of the stree
sprinkler in dry weather aud that sane
enough be laid away at the same tim.
to last all winter. The dust that hal
been flying about the last week haI
damaged the stocks in the Main street

That Hospital Scheme.

That Hospital Scheme.
The suggestion in last weeks Gale
DOMAIN looking to the establishment of
fund for the care of the sick or, bet
ter still, the founding of a hospital in
St. Johnsbury, has borne unexpected
fruit. Secretary Page has already re-
ceived promise of contributions to a
fund to aid in caring for sick young
men, either strangers or needy. If it
seems practicable it is proposed to hire
a couple of rooms in some house Occu-
pied by family who will aid in caring
for the sick when occasion requires.
This isn't million dollar scheme.
Contributions however small will be
gladly received and will probably ac-
cOmplish as much in the way of practi-
cal good as the same amount of money
expended in any other way. Drop in
and talk the matter over with Secre-
tary Page and get some idea of the
need of some such thing.

Railroad Notes.

Railroad Notes.
The New York train will begin run
ming on the Passumpsic this summer
June 81.
The meeting of the Passumpsic stock
holders to take action on the question
of ratifying the lease of the road to
the Boston g. Lowell comes next
Wednesday.
The Cheshire railroad company has
authorized it's directors to increase the
capital stock of the company, to lease
the road or consolidate it as in their
judgment they may deem expedient.
President Lord and General Manag-
er Furber of the Maine, accompanied
by General Superintendent Mellen and
Traffic Manager Turner of the Boston
g. Lowell are devoting the present
week to careful examination of the
entire Lowell system.
1t is not very difficult to understand
why the Boston & Maine wants to get
control of the Concord road when it is
remembered that the latter road earn
ed last year, after paying all its ex-
penses, $479, AS. The 10 per cent.
dividend on the stock, which is the
outside that can be paid under the
roads charter, only amounted to $50,
600, so that the road earned last year
over S3O0,0O0, which it cannot divide
among it's stockholders.
The Boston & Lowell and Boston &
Maine railroad magnates arrived here
yesterday and went over the Lake
road. To-day they are going up the
Passumpsic investigating the condi
ton of the property. The party tina
went up the road this morning wa
made up of President Lord and Gener
